  • TODO:
So I decided that I had to checkout the Fenris on rhx123's / qazwsx's server.  Thanks Kayd and Sandwich for the tour.  Afterwards, I had some time to wander around.  I found a box of "emergency" minecarts in the house the is next to Fenris and decided to try the rail system.  After a few wrong starts (read, I pushed the cart the wrong way), I was finally headed in the direction of the the maze that I could see on the world map.

I reached the end of the line, at this nice wooden terminus.  Though I was only able to stop on the third pass through.  So I started following the path to in the general direction of the maze.  It started to rain, and I ran to the nearest building.  Apparently I wasn't welcome.



After being rejected by the castle owner, it stopped raining anyway so, I figured I would try and find my way to the maze that I could see on the world map.  This house looked like it had access to a train station.



Seems this home owner doesn't want vistors either, no path up to the house.



But his door wasn't locked so...



After wandering around the house, I come out on to what seems to be the roof/veranda and right there is the maze.



Found an unroofed part of the house, makes for a nice shot of this "house".



Still trying to find the train station.  Instead I found a private marina/lair.



Found it.  Apparently I was wondering around Shades' Manor.  Thank you for your hospitality Shade.



On the way to the maze station I passed this nice lava fall.



Getting near the maze.



The maze was fun.  The water feature in the center was nice.  It took me 5 minutes to get in and out (what I can say, I am not the best at doing mazes).

To the south of the maze was this ring, that is made of bed rock.



Looks like someone is planning on having gladiatorial battles in it, though before that can happen it needs some seating.



Checking the map, I see that the rail that I am on eventually gets to the back side of the castle, so I jump back on the minecart and head the that direction.  The castle grows in larger as the minecart approaches.



The detail work is pretty impressive.



Whats this hiding behind this monster.



The originally named "water station".



Apparently, the castle is Pred's.  I figured I would hop off and see what there is to do at a water station.  A nice view from the top...




Hmm, what is this?  The water supply?  Anyway, the tower makes for a nice shot of the castle.



Apparently the basement of the tower is not for dumbasses like me though who manage to drown trying to get back to the surface...

After I respawn I then disconnect with a read timeout.  Anyway, that was an entertaining 20 minutes. I will have to go back.

BTW, pecenipicek I would have bothered you afterwards but I don't seem to remember my password...

Heh, that "house" is my dome, my actual house is the base of the tower on the left in your screenshot. Said dome has a very nice view of the area. :D

Yup, the South-West one with the obsidian base built into a hill. Also, you are not the only one to drown trying to get out of that water trench, I've come to the conclusion it is impossible to get out alive.

B.t.w - that TNT on the screenshot - all gone in a massive chain explosion reaction. Actually that screenshot only shows a small part of the total amount of TNT used.
Once triggered, explosions were going on for 10 MINUTES. I'm surprised the server didn't crash.

Nedlees to say, there is no mountain anymore.

I did manage to FRAP's it (but only the first 2 minutes..forgot to change my FRAPS settings sadly )

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

 
Looks like server's down again for 20 min+ now. Hope it doesnt stay that way, got plenty to do ^^
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

what's FRAPS?

 
what's FRAPS?

It's a screen recording program that allows you to record things like FS2 playthroughs, Minecraft things, and so on. Been using it for 4-5 years myself, very useful and works well.

Qaz, you better wake up soon, the server's been down for like an hour now D= I wanna continue building and fixing terrain.

Indeed.  That is why I will have to go back.

FRAPS ~ HyperCam 2?
Ya, more or less.  Just google it, the merits of both have been rehashed to death all over the internet, we don't need to do it on here as well.

@pecenipicek: Thanks, will do.

Seems you managed to stumble on my side of the server. You are more than welcome to take a look around and even harvest stuff from my farm. The minecart only entrance is intentional by the way.
You can get to almost every creation in that area with the 2 or 3 lines of minecart rails.
The arena you found is a 'spleef arena' and the waterstation is for viewing the 'natural' formation that is the pre-1.8 underwater trench. My castle does have a 'water system' but it's a lot harder to spot.
Shade hasn't been on in quite because of IRL stuff I believe.... I'm not on much either. :P

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the compliments. :D
